With the publication of his first novel,
Nightlight, acclaimed poet Michael
Cadnum demonstrated a touch for the
macabre on a par with the works of
Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Ma-
chert. "Genuinely spooky and immacu-
lately observed" (The Kirkus Reviews),
Michael Cadnum s work portrays a
unique and unsettling view of the
world, both in Nightlight and in this
eerie second novel, Sleepwalker.
Anthropologist Davis Lowry had it
all: success, fame, good looks, and
disturbing nightmares. When he wak-
ens from a bout of sleepwalking to find
himself perched on the balcony rail,
twelve stories above the ground, he
knows his life must change.
Davis joins a dig in York where a
team has unearthed a bog man, an
eighth-century male preserved whole
within the peat tannin. Hoping to
forget his troubles by studying the
Skeldergate Man, Davis finds instead
that the team have been plagued by
unsettling accidents. Very unsettling
accidents.
When the Skeldergate Man--or
something resembling it--is seen
walking the countryside at night, Davis
has to dig deep into the past to
confront the horrors buried there, both
those within his colleagues lives and
those within the earth itself. Peerhaps
then he can rest at last.
